Facts About Pimientos As a Cash Crop Here (Editor’s Note: This is the first in a series of articles con cerning the raising of pimientos in Chattooga County as a cash crop). Farmers, do you need another cash crop? The local Chamber of Com merce is working to have the Pomona Products Company, of Griffin, place a receiving station in this county where products, chiefly pimientos, can be receiv ed in preparation for processing. County Agent, J. B. Butler has pointed out that very likely cot ton will be allotted in 1950 and Chattooga County farmers will be needing another cash crop. The Pomona Products Compa ny is the original canner and distributor of pimientos in Geor gia and is the largest packer of this product in the world. Farmers in middle Georgia have grown pimientos success fully as a cash crop for over 30 years, County Agent Butler said. He pointed out that pimientos fit in well with the other farm crops of our state and serve as come. E. C. Pesterfield, Secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, dis closed recently that a represen tative of the Pomona Products Company had stated in a letter to him that if farmers in this county were sufficiently inter ested, it was fairly certain a re-' ceiving station could be located m Summerville. The Company will contract for acreage and will pay S7O per ton for pimientos delivered to the receiving station. type of land In discussing the type of land on which pimientos can be rais ed, County Agent Butler said that any well drained soil that will grow good cotton will also produce good pimientos. This can be red, gray, or a mixture of the two types. Gravelly hillside land can be counted on for good yields too. Real low bottom land is usually passed up because of the early frost hazard. “You will find it cheaper and also more convenient to make a I Hospital Bond Election Called Here for May 28 LOCAL "OPPORTUNITY DRIVE" GOAL IS $63,000-McGINNIS The local goal in the “Oppor- [ tunity Drive” Campagin, spon sored by the U. S. Savings Bonds [ Division from May 16-June 30, is [ $63,000, Harry McGinnis, local | chairman, disclosed this week. The national quota is $1,040,- 000,000 and the state quota is $11,360,000, Mr. McGinnis said.

Fifty-one per cent of the E I Lookouts Now On Two-weelt Trip After opening their Southernj Association season at home, the Chattanooga Lookouts hit the road for a two-week trip before coming back to Engel Stadium oh Sunday, May 1, against Mo bile. Large crowds saw the Lookouts in their first games. A total of 10,523 turned out Opening Day | on Friday, April 15, as the Look outs triumphed over the Nash- ■ ville Vols, 11-9. The crowd on Easter Sunday was 8,071 as the Lookouts suffered a double set- . back to the Vols. The trip takes the Lookouts to Nashville. Atlanta and Birm- 1 ingham before the return home.[ Then the Lookouts are at home [ two weeks against Mobile, New Orleans, Little Rock and Mem phis. President Joe Engel of the i Lookouts has signed Bobo New- j ■scm, most colorful and winning- I est pitcher in baseball. During , his 21 years service, Newsom has won 300 games in the minors, i majors and world series. He [ played with eight bi g league [ clubs. I hot bed and grow all or at least I some of your own plants,” Mr. [ Butler said. “Pomona Products will furnish the seed for plant ing and the sheeting for cover ing the beds at cost. The amount for these items will be charged to you and deducted from your penoer crop next fall.” There is still time in this county for a pimiento crop this year, the County Agent said. Those wishing to obtain plants should contact Mr. Butler at his office. The earlier the plants are set out after the danger of frost has passed the better. The rows should be 3>/ 2 to 4 feet apart with the plants spaced 2*/ 2 to 3 feet apart in the drill. At these spacings it will take from 4.200 to 5,000 plants to set an acre. Plants will be available for set ting out from April 15 to June 15. The company will furnish a hand transplanter at cost for setting the crop and this also may be charged and deducted for later. The plants should be set in a medium deep water furrow rather Dian on a bed. fertilization Pimientos respond well to good fertilization. The amount o f fertilizer to apply however, de oends on the natural fertility of the soil, the County Agent stat ed. Most growers get best results from the application of 500 to 700 pounds per acre of 4-8-6 or 5-8-6 several days before setting the plants in the field, and side dressing with 100 to 150 pounds net acre of nitrate of soda, or it’s equivalent in nitrogan, during the latter part of June, and an other such application in early August. Some growers have found that a side dressing-in September increases their yields per acre. Commercial fertilizers are to be preferred over animal manures for growing pimientos where the “Wilt” disease is a factor in the soil. Read next week’s News for more information concerning the factors involved in the rais ing of pimientos. [savings bonds bought in this county are bought by textile em [ ployes of Rieael Textile Corpo ' ration, Trion, Mr. McGinnis said.
